June temperatures averaged 73.4º or 3.6º above normal while precipitation averaged 5.19 inches or 0.55 inches above normal. This ranks as the 14th warmest and 50th wettest June among 133 years of state records. This was also the warmest June since 1991 and wettest since 2000.  Rainfall, as was also the case in April and May, was heaviest in northern and western Iowa and least in the southeast. Precipitation was fairly evenly distributed through the month with the exception of the 24th-26th when torrential rain fell across portions of northern Iowa. Heaviest rains from these late month storms fell from southern Buena Vista to northern Franklin County with the highest official rain total of 8.15 inches reported at Fort Dodge. Preliminary monthly precipitation totals varied from 1.24 inches at Davenport and 1.29 inches at the Clinton Airport to 9.78 inches at Fort Dodge and 10.40 inches at Conrad.  Streamflow was elevated throughout the month of June across most of north central and northwest Iowa.  Generally from the Des Moines area and to the south, streamflow was normal to slightly below normal.  Heavy rains at the end of June, would bring flows in rivers across south central Iowa up a little, mainly in the Chariton basin.  Flooding was generally contained to the Northern Raccoon, the Des Moines River above Saylorville, the Cedar River and upper Iowa River basins, with bankfull conditions along the mainstem of the Raccoon River from Van Meter to the Des Moines River.  The remainder of Iowa rivers maintained near normal streamflow conditions for June.  Much of northwest, north central, into parts of central Iowa was relatively wet with precipitation at or above normal for an extended time.  Conditions were relatively dry across the south.  The heavy rainfall during the period from the 24th to 26th resulted in flooding along most of the rivers across the north two thirds of the CWA.  Most of the significant damage occurred in several counties mentioned earlier in this report due to flash flooding.  There was considerable agricultural flooding, resulting in the need to replant some of the crop.  Over the course of the two month period of May and June, it was necessary to replant approximately 5% of the states corn and soybean crop.  Property damage was relatively minor outside of the flash flood areas, however it was also fairly widespread.
